Thanks, No the words were created in photoshop.

[miamivideo]

I replaced the old frame grabs with new ones due to the fact that I re-do the hole thing and used different people. I will post more grabs soon...

[Matt Sconce]

Awesome! Look forward to more grabs

Nice grabs. It looks like you forgot to update the cast information ;-)

You are right, thanks for the reminder

Can anyone tell me how to add a banner to my signature?

[Drew Ott]

Good short.

I liked the story line. It was shot well.

It felt a little slow to get going though. The last half was quite entertaining but the beginning with all of the phone calls took too long for a 6 minute film.

To add a banner: Click "User CP" on the top left of the page under the DVXuser logo. Then click "edit signature". You have to then paste the picture that you've uploaded.

Rolling and Reviewing...

I enjoyed how you put dialog over each other. When the assassin completes the sentence. Seeing as how your user name is Miamivideo I assume this take place in Miami? It certainly has that feeling to it. Which is great. The soundtrack was nice as well. Went with it.

That is a terrible spot to put a gun too, aiming at the crotch? Haha, whatever gets the job done I guess. Though a lot of the film happened over the phone. That is my little drawback. WOuld love to have seen more face to face action rather than phone to phone.

Nice brace on impact. And the shot looked a little awkward.

Why does everyone like putting their guns in their pants?

You had a kind of distracting jump cut around 5:40. Could have been solved by doing a two shot and moving the camera 30 degrees.

Nice film though.

[hawaiiirish]

Nice film - I thought the story and acting were good. Thanks for sharing. Asthetically, it looked excellent.

[miamivideo]

Thanks everybody, This is my first short and I'm looking forward the next fest. I hope my next short film will be better in the sence that I will have more time to plan and shoot the scenes. I shoot the movie in a period of 11 hours and I had to do everything by myself, I wrote the script, filmed, directed and edited the movie. Again thanks for your reviews and critiques.

[Mobie540]

I thought the boss did a good job of being over the top. I liked the attitude of the characters. This short got a chuckle out of me. Although, I was hoping for a little more scarface and amping up the violence but it's just an opinion.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks

[dopeyname101]

It all felt very "El Mariachi"-ish to me. Acting, storyline, camerawork, even costumes (the main guy, I forget his, name, with the vest).

Thanks you for viewing the short and making comments on it. I did not make this short based or inspired on the mariachi movie or movies nor I try to copy any storyline or style , this is all my vision and I projected it the way I saw it in my mind.
Thanks.

[dopeyname101]

No, I'm not in any way saying you copied it, I was just commenting that that's just the feel I got from it.

[ZazaCast]

Nicely done. I agree with some of the above comments, but really...good job!
I picked up a bit of wind noise on the inside the mailbox shot and the compression looked funky to me. Liked the music.

Enjoyed this one!

I was using the on cam mic for the mailbox shot. Thanks for viewing and commenting on my short.

[Mickey Munday]

this was a great effort, i agree with the above poster's comment in that i was hoping for the violence to be amped up a notch based on the title. it all seemed dumbed down a bit, like when the boss said something like "don't give me that crap!" or something like that. i laughed out loud on that part literally. a harsh curse word woulda probably been more appropriate given this man is highly pissed and and worried about a snitch testifying against him the next day and possibly going away to prison.

the acting seemed very stiff from the boss' underlink, the black dude. it seemed as if he was forced to stick to the script with no wiggle room to adlib or say the lines the way he wanted to. when he was shot, it wasnt too believeable, he fell like he didnt want to hurt himself or get his clothes dirty.

the boss was fine, over the top added a little character to the film.

your main hitman felt like he needed to loosen up although again it felt more like he was confined to the script word for word.

all in all it was entertaining and i watched the whole thing. i'm sure you will get some love in some of the festivals for shorts. good luck.

I agree with your comment of he look like he didn't want to get his clothes dirty, I did not like the way he fell but I could not re-shot the scene, this short was shoot in 11hrs I did not have too much time to shoot it the way I want it to because of time and planning, but I'm really proud the way it came out due to the short time and circunstances. This is my first short ever and I'm planning to continuing making more. This was for me a great experience and I really enjoyed making it. I hope that I have more time for the next fest and I get beter with time.
Thanks I really appreciated your comments and critiques.

New Movie Poster added in the 1st page.

[pauly_the_hitman]

Great first effort. I did think maybe the use of profanity was warranted in this case it would have made the story more real for me. The boss was a little odd and I wanted him to be more of a bad ass. Good work keep it up we all learn each film we make and they just keep getting better and better.

I did not used profanity because I thought It wasn't allowed, Now I know for the next fest, thanks.

Whoa! El mariachi combined with miami vice. yowza! the flick didn't tickle my facny, but i did have fun watching it. i liked your casting. keep it up!

you will get better. you already handle critiscm and personal opinions like a professional. take what you find useful from it and ignore the rest. you're in good shape if this was your first short. there's a lot of first shorts that are 20 times worse that i've seen online. this was entertaining and i made it all the way through to the end. i normally lose interest quick and just delete the file without even commenting on it if i dont like it.

:thumbsup:

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Keep at it! This was actually pretty entertaining in spots.
Editing needs some fine tuning but the acting was decent.

Framing wasn't bad either.

Hope to see you in the next fest.

Mike

[miamivideo]

Thanks everyone for you comments I'm glad you like the story. I promise for next fest it will be better.

[AmyO]

You took on a lot with your crime boss story, kudos for that. I loved the Boss the best. The shots in the scene with the punching bag were great. I felt those were the most "Cinematic". Probably because there were great shadows throughout the scene. Good work. I look forward to what you come up with next time!

The punching back scene was great! I look forward to your next movie. I would just study pacing and framing and rock the next fest to its core!

I am not very fascinated in general of guns, but in your film there were necessary. I think that you created very well the right atmosphere for this filmgenre. The story is credible and the music works good with the film. I personally had a problem with the frame quality - I saw all the pixel, but perhaps it was only my proplem. A lot of compliments!

Thanks, the pixels was do to my poor encoding knowledge..sorry about that.

[Horncastle]

I liked the cinematography in the interiors. The scene of the guy doing his boxing practice, especially, was very nicely lit. I thought the script worked well, it just lacked a bit of originality to make a really interesting film. All in all though I think you did a good job.

Thanks again for the time you took to watch and comment my film.!!

[jasonthewho]

I thought there were several really nice shots in your film, especially the close-ups. I thought the acting was pretty solid. The editing was very weak though, with dissolves within the same shot, and some other strange choices. Maybe because of a lack of things to cut to? Whatever the problem is, that's something to work on for next time. I liked your title logo, but it stays up over too many shots, and that feels weird.

Keep at it!

Keep at it!

The disolves was due to the lack of footage to edit, I forgot to shoot a part of the script and then I had to use the audio from a previous shoot that I filmed in a different location. I filmed the short on the weekend of the week before the deadline, then I edited it during the week at night. For next fest I'm planning to have more time shoot my scenes, hopefully within several days and not just in one day like I did.
Thanks for your critiques

Hey,

Just caught the flick. I thought the casting was good and the locales were good. The look, overall was nice.

For my money the music could have been better. Also the jump cuts didn't seem warrented nor did they add to the film.

The story felt weak to me. No movitvation behind the killings, no reasons for it. It just felt a little bit like "give the order, kill the guy, etc." which isn't much of a story. Also, I didn't feel anything for any of the characters. Give us a reason to care for ANY of them and I think it would definetely improve on this piece.

Overall, decent effort. Keep em coming.

[Shawn Philip Nelson]

Nice! I'm glad to see someone trying something straight up commercial and gangster! The plot didn't really pull me in, so next time something a bit more engaging (with girls would be nice :-), but I love that this wasn't another group of 20 year olds in their apt. You are on your way!

I could not afford to pay any composer so I had to use cinescore to score the film. There was motivation for the killings, Ricky (the Boss) needed to kill The bussines man because he was going to testify against him so they hire Raul to take care of the job. Then after the job's done Ricky tells his assistant to kill Raul so he have no outside witness that could testify against him or blackmail him later on. In my mind all of characters were criminals so I didn't worry about a reason to care about any of them. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Thanks for your comments. Originally I had the opening scene with Ricky and a girl that included the girl getting in and coming out of the pool and go to Ricky but I did not like the way it came out so I did not included it. The thing was that I did not conducted any casting, The people that acted in my short were all friends and I ask them the favor to do this for me. Like I said before I wished that I had more time but all of this was done in a rush. Again, many Thanks .

Alright, Blane had a good point, it doesn’t help anybody to sugar coat things so be forewarned: I’m going to say what I feel and you can take it or leave it, but it's how I feel at the moment and I'm working really hard to help people, not hurt feelings...

So here we go...

Lighting in the gym scene is flat and needs some directionality to it. There is no shape to the actor or the equipment.

Punching bag scene is much nicer lighting.

Why the Time magazine font. I think it’s distracting.

Edit on “tomorrow” is jarring 0:33

Transition at :45 the 16x9 bars go to white. Either redo them after the effect in FCP or whatever your using or cut them off for the contest.

Shot at :49 is too washed out and dreamy-looking.

Phone dialogue at 1:35 is too harsh, tone down the high mids (2-3k)

Shot at 2:03 no door opening g sound.

Shot at 2:08 door closing sound too early.

Watch shot 2:12 bg sound rushes in for just that shot then is gone. Cut that sound and let the music do the work here.

Shot inside car 2:33 blacks are milky, they don’t match the previous shot.

I like the desperate elbow hitting at 2:54

At 3:14 I’d like to hear the car door closing even if it spills into the next shot.

Shots at 4:17 too washed out, put your zebras on.

Edit at 4:20 was too slow after “stop the crap” to “hey hey” I think you should tighten this edit so it feels more like a real conversation.

Edit at 4:42 crossed the line. This is distracting.

Why does boss thug always have unlit cigar?

Gun shots at end should be louder than ambient sound IMO.

Nice work on completing an entry.
Good luck in the future!

Thanks for your critiques, I know that I had too many issues and I don't get mad at anybody for telling me the truth. Like I said before this is my first short and I learned a lot from my mistakes and errors. For my next short I hope not to make the same mistakes and I hope I'll have more crew to help me with my film, for this short I had to do everything by my self exept holding the mic. Oh and the unlit cigar is because he does not smoke, I just wanted to add more personality to the character. Again many thanks for your comments.

[miamivideo]

Oh I forgot, you wrote: "Shot at :49 is too washed out and dreamy-looking." That was my purpose, I wanted it to show it different looking because it happened early on, so I want it to create kind of a flash back.

[conrad_johnson]

Cool man, only helping, and WAY better than my first and I had help. :)

I know you are helping and I appreciate it. Thanks

[krestofre]

I didn't buy the actor playing the boss at all. The other two actors had some stiff moments, but I could see them in the rolls. The boss just took me out of the film.

I think in just about all cases in your film using cuts instead of dissolves would help. Not only in the pacing of the film, but it will also make your film look more polished. Give it a try. I could be wrong, but when I just started editing I dissolved everything, and slowly learned that a cut is the most used transition for a reason.

Like may people have said, this is much better than the first thing I ever shot. Keep at it. :)

[ConspiracyPenguin]

I hate starting out reviews with negative comments, so let me say that you did do a good job. There are, as I am sure you know, things that could be improved as well. Some of the things I made note of are as follows:

1) At 0:27 when Raul reaches for his phone the next frame cuts to him holding the phone to his ear. This kind of flash cut didn't really work for me in this situation, felt a bit awkward.

2) At 2:08 the sound of the car door shutting is premature, as if added in afterwards because the original recording didn't sound very good.

3) When the man is leaving his house he stops and looks around constantly as if expecting to be shot.

4) Choking scene was awkward, mostly audio wise. If you aren't going to have an audible struggle, some music is good to cover for the fact.

5) NEVER POINT A GUN AT YOUR CROTCH! Dangerous! :grin: When the guy comes out of his house it is too obvious that he has a gun. I would have just not shown it at all, as it can be assumed a person in his line of work would pack heat. Especially since he doesn't get te order to kill Raul until right before he sees him, maybe have him look at the car seat and see the gun after he hangs up with his boss.

6) Talks to Raul for too long explaining, Raul had enough time to turn around and shoot him. Then he hesitates for a long time getting him killed. Seemed a bit unlikely. Then, when he gets shot no blood is instantly visible. Maybe have him not wear white if you want to get away with that.

7) "How'd you get in here? I wasn't expecting you." is delivered in a very weak way. The ensuing murder is sketchy at best, with the scene cuts between the blood appearing and the lack of recoil when the gunshots sound it came across awkward.

Please take these comments purly in a constructive way. Storywise it may have been a bit cliche, but it was good nonetheless. You have a lot of well done things as well, just needs some polishing up. Good job and good luck!

[miamivideo]

I appreciate your critiques Nick, thanks

[totitefilms]

Your movie is very well executed. The story is solid. The acting is nice except for the killing part. It's somewhat not so convincing to me. But overall I think your movie is one of the top ones in this fest. Congrats!

[Blaine]

I think Joe was pretty thorough in his critique so I won't go over all those issues. I think this might have been just a bit too ambitious to pull off for your first film given your resources. The acting was a bit rough, particularly the boss who only seemed to have one tone. The editing could definitely use some tightening, especially on the final shooting scene which was jarring in its discontinuity.

It would have been nice to use some fake blood to sell the killings, too.

Congrats on finishing this and I look forward to watching you grow as a filmmaker. :thumbsup:

Right off the bad, the audio could have been so much better. It sets the tone as low budget. Smooth transitions from scene to scene with crossfades would help this problem instead of the sudden cuts into different scenes.

The actors are OK. They definitely have character in them. I’m not too much of a fan of the dissolves in the editing. I think those work best in montages or slow motion.

I can’t believe the music at 3:00. I felt like being in an episode of Miami vice. A custom score would take this to another level.

I had a hard time following the film. Perhaps faster editing and tighter shots would help. Weird jump cuts, crossing axis, Oh… and cross over belly shot was classic.

I’m not sure what else to say about this film. I think there’s so much more room for improvements.

Congrats on entering the fest.

[Chuklz]

One of the things I liked was you definately captured the Miami image. It felt like it was miami as much as Miami Vice and Burn Notice does. (I happen to study art direction from the art director of Miami Vice the series and the movie). So kudos.

The editing was pretty really distracting. Your opening sequence was quick cuts and rushed but that usually leads to a big bang of action. Instead we got credits and the story slowed down. Thats kind of dissappointing. So go back and re-evaluate the pacing of your cuts. Short takes with alot of cuts gets the audience excited. Longer takes makes us calm down.

Congrats on finishing your first film. Look forward to your next ones.

[miamivideo]

thank you all for your comments, I promise for the next fest a better executed short, I'm planning to have more time to make a better film, Thanks again.

[iSTy]

general gangster short, pretty good, although I did notice that the cigar was never lit, and when the guy was talking on the phone it looked like he wasn't holding a phone at all ie he had his hand covering the whole mouthpiece, didn't like that.
sorry.
thank you.
